Clasado joins BAFSAM, strengthening its position in the UK & EU animal nutrition sector

Clasado Biosciences has announced its membership of the British Association of Feed Supplement and Additive Manufacturers (BAFSAM), marking another step in the company’s strategic expansion into the wider animal nutrition industry.

BAFSAM is a recognised UK trade association representing the interests of companies involved in feed additives, premixes and specialty ingredients. As a national partner of FEFANA, the EU association of specialty feed ingredients, BAFSAM plays a key role in engaging with UK, Irish and EU regulators to ensure legislation supports innovation, safety and quality across the feed supply chain.

Lucie Nagy, General Counsel at Clasado, commented: “Joining BAFSAM is a strategic move that aligns with our commitment to regulatory best practice and knowledge-sharing in the animal nutrition sector. As we expand our activity beyond human health and into the animal nutrition market, being part of an association that champions regulatory clarity, responsible innovation and cross-industry collaboration is essential. We look forward to contributing our expertise in prebiotic science and working alongside other members to help shape the feed industry of the future.”

Clasado’s proprietary prebiotic ingredient, Bimuno® GOS, is widely recognised for its role in supporting gut health in both human and animal populations. With more than 125 scientific publications and over 20 clinical trials supporting its efficacy, it is one of the most comprehensively studied prebiotics in the galactooligosaccharide category.

The company’s entry into the animal nutrition space is underlined by increasing demand for science-backed functional ingredients that support the gut microbiome by supporting digestive health and immune function in animals.

Elizabeth Lewis, Secretary General at BAFSAM, added: “We’re pleased to welcome Clasado into the BAFSAM membership. The association exists to promote and protect the lawful interests of the feed supplement and additive industry, and we welcome companies like Clasado that are committed to scientific integrity, regulatory excellence and responsible innovation.”
